Show HN: VoidAccess – open-source dark web OSINT, from query to a graph

Security researcher Katriel released VoidAccess, an open-source dark web OSINT tool that automates the pipeline from query to graph, filtering out noise and NSFW content so analysts can survey dark web material without manual browsing. VoidAccess installs with a few commands and runs investigations until the job completes or a user-set time limit is reached; Katriel said it precedes MailAccess, an email OSINT tool he expects to finish in about a year. The Show HN post drew 29 points and 0 comments.

Hi HN! Im Katriel, and im a Security Researcher/Enthusiast and in the wave of AI, i wanted to build that next gen of security tooling that surpasses the current tools, and even the paid industries with an open source engine. I built MailAccess as well, which is going to be the best damn email osint tool out there, in another year. But just before building MailAccess i built VoidAccess, because i was delving a lot into DarkINT and the content inside the dark web is too difficult to navigate through for a human, so i automated that pipeline, made sure the noise was removed, and anything NSFW was filtered out, to give the analyst an overview of what is present in the dark web, without having to actually go through it manually.

Very simple to run, you just run a few commands to install, and a couple to investigate. Then the engine takes over, and stops onyl when the job is done(or at a particular time limit, if set by the user).

Do check it out, if that is something that interests you.

Thanks to the community for giving it the love it has got till now.
